My issue is i am trying to mount my Corsair H105 however I can't seem to figure out how to mount the fans in this backplate:

any help/advice would be appreciated!

thanks
 
i feel like it is something easy i am missing since this "case"/desk was built with mounting these types of radiators in mind. the instructions don't say ANYTHING. just basically showing a small picture of the fans connecting to backplate and the radiator attached to the fans
 
Sorry if this is stating the obvious and I am not sure if it will help you as it is hard for me to see from the pics, but fans for Lian Li cases normally attach with these threaded screws:

The fan is held from the inside of the bracket/case and the screw goes in from the outside. A fan grille may be on the outside or sometimes they have a mesh cover that sits/attaches from the inside like this (third one down on the left):

Appreciate the help! The main problem is I don't have access to the BACK of that plate. It's weird. If I did it would be super easy to attach the fans

In the video on Lian Li's DK-02 product page it appears that the fan bracket in the front of the DK-01 (single system version) slides left then out. I'll bet the DK-02 do the same.
 
Man, trying to find info on that desk is tough! This is the best I could find. Watch the guy to the left of the desk. He has the left front bracket in his hands and puts it back in. He is not part of bit so the camera is not focused on him. If you watch him closely you can see he puts the bracket back on from inside the drawer. You can see him fiddling with it, then the camera looses him for a couple of seconds and then catches him still fiddling with it then he takes his hands out of the drawer. Keep watching - the camera is in just the right spot when he comes back. At about 3:24 it looks to me like he slides the bracket to his left and you hear a slight snap. I'm pretty sure there is a keyhole mechanism in there to hold those brackets in place. Perhaps since your desk is brand new the brackets are really tight? Give them a really good tug and I'll bet they will come loose.

EDIT: I just re-watched your video and near the end you give the bracket a little push then put your hand on the top of the drawer. I can clearly see the "big end" of the keyhole directly in line with the top screw just below your index finger. It definitely slides to the left (looking from the front of the desk) and then out. Give that bracket a good yank and it should come right out. :)
